CASTEIN THE NAVY.
The Difference Between Big Captain and a
Common Doctor.
BROOKLYN Eagle

Common Doctor.
Brooklyn Eagle
The following screed, written by naval
officer for private circulation, and not i'll
tended for general publication, was found
in the navy yard Saturday. 1t shows very
plainly how badly doctors are treated in
Uncle Sans service, and explains why
good medical men prefer to remain in
civil life
When the first of the Roach cruisers ar
rived at the navy-yard it was found that
by some strange oversight a comfortable
place had been allowed for the sick. The
commanding officer of the vessel, discov-
ering this fact, Immediately rectifed it.
The surgeon of the ship on finding the
change went into the cabin to see about
it. He made some mild inc uiries on the
subject, when the captain in tones of
thunder, asked:
What do you N IAN sir, by coming into
my cabin, sir, and making sug-sir-
gestlons, sir, about my ship, SIR" and in
continently bounced the terrified doctor,
sir, out of his cabin sir.
The doctor was so terrified that his
hair, with the exception of a slight fore
lock turned white. It was only after the
most abject and profuse apologies that
the captain allowed him to stay in the
beg pardon, in his-service.
On one of the vessels during the war
young doctor just caught, had the temerity
to put man on the sick list whom the
captain did not want there. The man
only had pneumonia or something like
that. It couldn't have been fever, be-
cause the first lieutenant always kept the
bernhdeck where the men SLEEPY wet
nicely with salt water. The captain at
once sent for the doctor and demanded
to know how he dared to put the man on
the sick list. The frightened doctor at
tempted to humble some feeble excuse
when he rOared out:
SILENCE, sir, when you speak to your
commanding oficer!'
The poor doctor Immediately flew
from the cabin, and was next heard of at
Omaha on his way west. 1t is believed
he is still going.
Another instance occurred when the
doctor of ship had the audacity to COM
plain because all the breathing places
and bathrooms, closets, ETC., were appro-
priated by the captain, while the officers
and the crew were confined to the lower
decks. This was none Of the doctors
business, as this state of things had al
ways obtained and does still obtain. The
captain at once had the doctor court
martiaied and condemned to death, but
the doctor had pull, and his friends had
the sentence mitigated to imprisonment
for life. He is now serving out his term
on the wet Tortugas.
Notwithstanding all these privileges
it is impossible to get medical men to
enter the navy. They have other advan-
tages.
Whether married or single when doc
tor enters the navy he is allowed to eat,
sleep, dress or undress in a real sociable
manner in nice little room in the steer
age about 6x8, with dozen midship-
men. Still they won't come. I can't
imagine what they want. 1t must be the
earth. Thank goodness there is no
aristocracy in the lower ranks of our
navy.

MINETTE.

Without doubt Minette was the pref
test child in the Jacques founding hos
pital. So CHEEKY and bright was she that
every one loved her, and after awhile the
matron gave her the name of Sunette,
''For, she said, ''the little thing seems
to food every place where she happens
to be with sunshine. "
One day, as the tiny girl sat on little
circle of closely shaver turf, where stood
a fine marble statue of Hebe that some
person had given to decorate the hospital
grounds, singing as her habit was, at the
top of her voice, one of the physicians
came that way and asked:
"'What is beneath you, my happy
baby?"
''Grass, replied the child, promptly,
pulling her scant check skirt about her
dimpled knees; cor do you see bug or
any creeping thing" and she looked
about her vi easily.
'Nothing of the kind, little one" said
the young man, laughing, "What is be-
neAth the grass?
''Dirt is, said Minette, shutting her
rosy lips very tight. 81 know 1 saw
Paul. the gardener, plant rose tree"
every good. What is beneath the
dirt"
Don't know" and the rosy lips
pursed themselves in puzzled express
sion.
81 will tell you, my small beauty"
said the doctor, mysteriously. 1T is
China, and the people who live there
look like the pictures on madam's tea-set
and on the fre-screen in the old doctors
room. If you sing long enough and loud
enough they will hear you and come,
bringing whatever you like best.
81 would like best a mamma and
papa The answer was at once forth
coming and the lips tightly closed.
"And wax doll and kitten"
''No, my mamma and papa viii get
what else l want. l shall sing for them. :"
"Well, l must say that, considering
the circumstances, you have very clear
ideas of parental responsibilities" and
the young man went laughing on his
way laughing again as he paused a
moment at the hospital door to listen
to Minette, who seemed to have tuned
her pipes anew in order to raise her

The scandinavian Name system.

The custom in Norway Of taking the
fathers name, standing it on its head
and sailing it down for the son, has no
counterpart with US. For instance,
Knute Nelson would call his son Nels
Knutson Gen. Jackson's boy would be
Jack Jensen, and the father Of our coun-
try's would be Washing Gcorgcson.
Judge Browns son would be Little
Brown Jugson, or if twins, each would
be Two Quart Bottleson. A lighthouse
keepers boy is called BIowyourfog Horn
son, and his son in turn would be named
Blowyourhorn Fogson Our readers
will find this an interesting subject to
follow up in their pathological research
es. It is not little interesting to fol-
low the winding genealogical thread

What a pity that the good things of

The Man in Whose Arms Lin

He Tells. the True Story Of

Edward P. Doherty who is now an
Indian trader ON the Cheyenne river,
Dakota, held John Wilkes Booth in his
arms when he died. lie was in command
Of the company which captured him.
Mr. Doherty, the other day told the
story over to the writer. He said:

he was hiding. On the afternoon OF
April 25 1865, was riding at the head
of the few soldiers with me, along q
country road, when by chance we met q
person who told us where Booth was hid

or six miles in the rear That night, or
rather next morning about 4 o'clock, we
surrounded the barn where he was COM
cealed.
1t was kind of tobacco house. and
rather small. OF course he was on the
alert and heard us closing in upon him.
We called upon him to surrender, but hc
refused. Some one set fire to the barn
and l rushed up to the door Booths
companion came forward and surrendered
to me. At this juncturc the soldiers
were closing in rapidly, and none too
soon, for Booth raised his gun to shoot
me when the report of Corbett's rifle
rang out clear and sharp upon the morn
ing air. The actor fell foaNard as /

arms. The ball had penetrated his head
